  1. Well that's just rubbish. Most of the vid is just noise and just when it gets interesting the camera man all but misses the good bit
  2. Chuck it all in the washing machine, had chain oil all over my kit before and it took no harm at all
  3. That's bad but I recon you got away lightly, that could have been a lot worse.
  4. I have known a few people that slate them but these are generally the same people that don't own a grease gun.
  5. I would be more worried about this one showing up:laugh1:
  6. I think you may have the name spelled wrong Is this your man Treescape About Us
  7. Sadly that's not been my experience. Buying mine elsewhere now.
  8. I like that, there is nothing quite like a healthy portion of overkill
  9. I made on a while back
  10. Mine is on a second battery with a split charge system:thumbup1:
  11. I use it for anything its suited to, in the past it has pulled stems over, tensioned speed lines, recovered vehicles, helped tracked chippers up ridiculous inclines, winched timber onto trailers.
  12. I have had an 8274 since 1990, its been on a succession of vehicles and it has yet to let me down, and I have given it some serious use.
  13. Our local place were still paying cash on car shells but you still had to ID it up and turn the log book over
  14. This fits on the rings and replaces the bridge. There is 12-13mm of clearance in the throat of the shackles, your rings should fit through there, you can leave the existing bridge in place or cut it free from the ring
  15. What you need is something like this. Its a proprietary stitched tape replacement bridge with 2 stainless shackles. Its used but in good order, its been in a drawer for several years so its age is probably contemporary with your harness. It can be yours if you want it, just make a donation of a tenner to the children's trust and I will post it to you:thumbup:

    From the album: General

  17. The chipper isn't stolen, just a picture of it, the scammers harvest pictures and re use them. They don't have the goods they are purporting to sell
  18. Those 70p per pair gloves get changed regularly because they don't last
  19. Sherbert dip dabs, going off topic here
  20. Spangle Gall Anyone remember spangles?
  21. Or something to do with the price of scrap being on its uppers
  22. Choging down a laaaarge multi stemmed London Plane with an 076 (it was a while ago) when a chap sneaked through the barriers (bicycle and all). Everyone was looking up watching me and he just sauntered through the piles of timber like there was nothing going on. I spotted him as I took a particularly large lump off, everything went slow motion as I tried to hold a quarter ton lump with my fingernails I was sure he was a gonner and I was mentally filling the insurance forms in as the timber fell, it missed him but his bike paid the ultimate price. Took a couple of years off my life and I was shaking so bad the boss called the job off for the rest of the day.
  23. Its got internal decay, a very poor morphology and plenty of targets, break out the big saws Oh yes, and its a pop
  24. Find someone who refurbs digger buckets and get an offcut of the boron steel they use to edge buckets Its ground engaging so its strong and it wears well (good Boron content) It already has one bevel edge, take it to a machine shop and get them to bevel the other side to a point.
